If it was the first time then that was because the plugs fowled from sitting round at idle so long in line,getting it ready at home etc.I was towed that time. I never forgot antilag, hence the 'black smoke' which is unburnt fuel. I have a a very similar video no doubt, so would a lot of ppl. Seems you have a poor sense of humour if it's the funniest thing you've ever seen, most ppl on here would be curious as to why it happened and then help fix it, you seem to be getting kicks out of trying to embarrass someone. Embarrassing it was, but I'm not embarrassed by it, it's all a learning curve

and still, absolutely nothing to do with running in an engine

Dont worry mate help was offered at the time it just seemed everyone was to busy rubbing into everyone that the car was a rh9 car, ask anyone id be the first person to offer help when it came to fixing someones car but when ppl stand around a being rude and arrogant it gives them a bad name...

Couldn't of been me then, I've never talked the car up. Everyone knows what it has done. I've always said it wasnt me driving and I don't know how to drive it. Youre not the first person who said they came in, personally I had no time for anyone combining wanting to be on track,fixing it and being frustrated with it.

I can only speak for myself, anyone else's actions are their own. It's usually the ppl that think they know me that talk up the car etc. Not my direct friends

From memory it was the guy on the laptop with you after you got back to the pits but all good either way...

Probably was me or my brother then. But we aren't what you described at all, the garage was a workshop, stress levels high. No doubt if I wasn't busy and someone had taken the time to introduce themselves I would of definitely had the time to talk. My brother is hard to talk at the best of times, let alone when stressed with 'people in his space'. If the car was running smoothly, would of had many convos on the day no doubt!so not really a good environment to be publicly judging someone on..

what the estimated start time pete, i have to work sat night, but miiight come down....

Start time is very different for each person, we had a lot of people turning up ~11am etc, you can turn up whenever you want but you'll just miss a few laps.. There's no competition or queuing or anything like that, so just turn up and have a bash around the track. It's kind of up to you whether you'll have enough time on track to justify the entry fee :)

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
